The only thing i didn't like was the side profile, where the boot section isn't flowing in the same line, as the rest of the car. This is prob due to the tail light design which is pointing a bit upwards, making the rear look a bit bent.

are there any chances of this car being launched by january end or february 2011?
I have booked an etios vx will this car come for around 8lacs may be not top end version is fine than i may very well cancel etios and get an RB the toyota guys pissed me off with their waiting.
Now I am actually very happy it seem the new fiesta and hyundai RB launches are very much around the corner and i may have some choice.

I remain pleasantly surprised by Hyundai's new age designs, and they continue to impress me (right from the time I saw the new Sonata). The upper C segment is all set for a shakeup.....first we had the all-rounded Vento, and now a good looking Hyundai. They already have the engine; it's just a matter of getting the road manners, features & price right.

I have a feeling that Hyundai will do an "i20" with the feature list. Expect the top end to be loaded with bells & whistles.

What a good looking car?
When will Maruti learn from other manufacturers? They cannot churn out stupid looking machines (yes, looks do matter :-)) one after another.
If the pricing and "kitne deta hai" of the other vehicles are right, then Maruti will be in for a rude shock.
Once in a while a shock treatment is good to wake them up, i.e., if they want to.

Subject line is of Verna, but the photographs are of Accent. Or am I missing something?

Checked with a contact at Hyundai service and he says new Verna will launch in May-June this year. He told me the testing was going on and I told him, yeah! I saw the pics on TBHP
Autobox is also coming but 3-4 months later.

Absolutely! Hyundai is making such beautiful cars these days, the old Santro and the current Verna being the stark exceptions! I love how the i20 looks, and from the pics, the new Verna is a beaut as well.

The car that is Verna in India is Accent everywhere else.
Just that Hyundai India did not stop production of the old Accent, so had to introduce the new Accent as Verna.

These should be the closest and clearest shots yet of the new Verna ever captured in India. Its once again clear from these shots that we will be getting the Russian-spec hexagonal grille and front-end treatment in India and not the Chinese-spec horizontal slated grille. While enough has been said about how good the exterior design is and really transforms the current Verna's looks, these shots also throw light into the interiors.

Starting from the much-loved, three-spoke steering wheel of the i20, the two-tone beige and black dashboard to the satin silver finish in the center console, door handles and the steering wheel, the interiors look classy and much better to the existing Verna Transform. Being Hyundai, you can also expect the quality, fit and finish to be top-notch, loosing out only may be to the Honda City.

This car also seems to have an automatic transmission with the option of slotting the lever into a second gate for driving in semi-automatic mode. In Hyundai terms, its called H-Matic or Shiftronic in other models and we shouldn't be surprised if its called the same in this model too. With the options of manual and automatic transmissions and its usual arsenal of Gamma petrol and CRDi diesel engines, I am sure that the new Verna will offer one of the widest choices in the premium mid-size segment.

Awesome scoop dude. The interior pictures do look good and from the looks of it , the interiors would have quite a roomy feel to them. Cudos to Hyundai if they launch it upfront with an autobox. It may even steal some prospective buyers away from Chevy cruze because of the space it offers and the acclaimed ***. 'I am Loving it'.
